Lit Out For the Territory

Possessing a quixotic fondness for difficult careers, Paula R. Stiles has driven ambulances, taught fish farming for the Peace Corps in West Africa, and earned a Scottish PhD in medieval history, studying Templars and non-Christians in Spain.

Currently Editor in Chief and Copy Editor of Lovecraft/Mythos 'zine Innsmouth Free Press, Paula Stiles has also published hundreds of articles; 40 science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories; urban fantasy novel, The Mighty Quinn; a non-fiction history book, Templar Convivencia: The Templars and Their Associates in 12th and 13th Century Iberia; and a supernatural mystery novel, Fraterfamilias, co-written with Judith Doloughan. Its sequel, Confraternitas, is due out next year﻿.

In the supernatural mystery novel, Fraterfamilias, French artist Paul Farrell kills four people in Paris and walks into a hail of police fire at JFK Airport. Alan Kedward, a Russian history professor and shaman with connections to the Knights Templar, steals the body. Police on both sides of the Atlantic are on the case, but they have secrets of their own. And a powerful enemy watches from the shadows, one who could destroy them all.
